The BEGINNING says where and when a story happens and who the people or

characters are.

The MIDDLE tells what happens to these people.

The CONCLUSION tells how the story ends.

PART FIVE (ZURGHEY LORENA ARIAS)

Nicknames for New York

Use the words in the box to complete the text below. Write the missing words in the

space.

describe biggest choose name cities nicknames

newspaper recorded city community visitors popular

Nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. Many American

cities have nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help

people feel a sense of pride in their community.

Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the

best nickname for an American city. The winner was the nation’s biggest city,

New York. The nickname they chose was “The Big Apple”.

Where did the nickname “Big Apple” originally come from? In the nineteen

seventies, New York suffered from image problems. The number of visitors

was falling. A campaign was launched to give the city a new image and a new

nickname. The New York board chose the nickname “The Big Apple”.

It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A

journalist for a New York newspaper had used the name “The Big Apple” to

describe New York in the nineteen twenties.

The Big Apple was also the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New

York City in the nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a popular dance and

hit song around that time.

“The Big Apple” is not the only nickname for America’s biggest city. Almost

one hundred nicknames that describe New York have been recorded. Some of

the best known nicknames for New York are “The Capital of the World”,

“Empire City”, “Gotham”, “The City So Nice They Named it Twice” and “The

City That Never Sleeps.”
